They will be the defense attorneys, in the next hearing, to try to dismantle the castle of charges brought against the respective clients for which the prosecutor has asked for sentences of two years and eight months and one year. Five defendants they had ended up in court following large rivalries related to the world of hunting, tensions that at a certain point had resulted in threats, in attempts to steal dogs, in slander and in the suspension, by the police, of the firearms license for two of the litigants. Complaints and counter-complaints that have landed in court where it also happened that some defendants became civil parties and civil parties accused.
The highest sentence, two years and eight months of imprisonment, was requested for Giovanni Basilio Bullitta, 67, of Nughedu San Nicolò (defended by the lawyer Antonio Secci). While the prosecutor called for a one-year sentence for Massimiliano Baldinu, 48 years old from Sassari (assisted by the lawyer Elisabetta Sotgia). The acquittal was then requested for Davide Chessa, 35, of Ittireddu, (defended by Pietro Piras) and Salvatore Culeddu, 31, of Bono (assisted by Gian Marco Mura) "because the fact does not constitute a crime". Finally the request for not having to proceed against Antonio Marras (defended by the lawyer Carlo Pinna Parpaglia) for the prescription of one of the disputed crimes. Absolution for others. Marras was also a civil party in the same trial.
In particular, Bullitta and Baldinu would have, in competition with each other, attempted to commit a theft on the farm of Marras, in the locality of Corraile. While Bullitta, Chessa and Culeddu were accused of having entered the company of Giovanni and Giuseppe Puggioni (father and son, civil parties with the lawyer Ilaria Pinna), in the locality Punta 'e Figos di Thiesi, after breaking open the front door. They would then have tied the hunting dogs with the intent, according to the Prosecutor's Office, to steal them (but there is a request for acquittal for this charge).
In the same procedure, moreover, only Bullitta must also respond to slander because he allegedly "falsely accused Antonio Marras of threats and also Giovanni Puggioni and his father Giuseppe with a complaint presented to the Sassari police headquarters". Bullitta claimed that Marras had tried to wound him with a switchblade, while the two Puggioni they would have blocked his way preventing him and Baldinu from continuing their journey by car. But the three, according to the prosecutor, "actually intervened to block the attempted theft in the Marras company". The latter had ended up in trial for attempted aggravated injuries just because of that knife with which, according to the complaint presented by Bullitta, he would have tried to hit his "rival" in the abdomen twice (La nuova sardegna).
